'FlhiIYAY, JULY 17, 1942 T1HE.. MICHIGAN DAILY-. MAJOR LEAGUE RESULTS: Russian Machine Gunners 3 last Foe On Southern Front Browns Continue Rapid Climb With 5-1 Win Over Philadelphia Popular Cheesecake' Musicals In Bad Taste, Meredith Says By HALE CHAMPION From Associated Press Summaries Just when it seems that pennant races have become polite affairs in which each team accepts its own destiny, a spark sets some second division team on fire. That's the way it's always been and that's the way baseball will always be. Right now Chet Laabs is the spark and the St. Louis Browns are the boys with the fiery tinge. The De- troit castoff slammed his third home run in two days and his 15th of the season yesterday as he led Luke Sew- ell's rejuvenated Browns to a 5-1 victory over the Athletics. Laabs has now driven in eight runs in two games, thus furnishing the power for a club which has swept six games in a row, and has now risen within whispering distance of the first division. If they finally get there and stay Luke Sewell will have done what no other manager in the whole recent unsuccessful string of St. Louis strategists has been able to accom- plish. This drive of the Browns may be only a flash in the pan, but backed by recent refinancing, the club looks to be in the soundest shape of the last decade. If any man can make it stick, Luke Sewell can. "Browns Whip A's St. Louis 000 021 002 5 8 0 Philadelphia 000 100 000 1 7 0 Hollingworth and Ferrell; L.

Night Garnes AMERICAN WASHINGTON, July 16. -UP)- Virgil Trucks, Johnny G'orsica and Dizzy Trout restricted Washington to five singles tonight but with the aid of six Detroit errors turned those five hits into six runs for a 6 to 5 vic- tory in 10 innings. The setback--their fifth straight-- dropped the Tigers into a fourth- place tie with the St. Louis Browns. George Case's 10th inning single with the bases loaded scored Bobby Estalella from third with the win- ning run. The blow, a sharp single to left, came with two out. The Tiger infield performed a neat job of scuttling itself. Pinky Higgins committed three of the six errors and the final misplay, by Trout, led to Washington's winning run.

By BERYL SHOENFIELD Cheesecake musicals have com- pletely replaced the serious drama on wartime Broadway's stage, and to Charles H. Meredith, guest direc- tor of the Department of Speech's current Repertory play, this is "high- ly regrettable." Meredith applied his theory that despite the times a really good non- comedy is always appropriate, when he selected Robert Ardrey's story of World War II' viewpoints, "Thunder Rock," as second offering of the 14th annual Repertory Players. "Straight parts require more act- ing competency than burlesqued or comedy roles, since it is much more difficult to remain poised and na- tural without benefit of character make-up or lines." Hollywood success on the silent screen is attributed by "Thunder Rock's modest, soft-spoken director to his 6 foot 3 inch stature, which made him a "natural" for lead roles. From then on, acting engagements were plentiful, including several sea- sons with the Washington Square Players-now the Theatre Guild-as fellow member with Katherine Cor- nell and Roland Young. Three years of European study in dramatic presentation methods de- veloped Meredith's directing talent, and when Irving Pichel-the "voice" of "How Green Is My Valley"--,of- fered him the directorship of Cali- fornia's famed Santa Barbara Play- Russian infantrymen and machine gunners batt le the foe on asector of the Southern Front, according to Moscow caption.

The Cracker Barrel By Mike Ban Daily Sports Editor Fire College Leonard E.. Hears Himler Lecture On Panic' Firemen attending the fourteenth annual Michigan Fire College'yester- day heard Leonard E. Himler of the University Health Service describe the psychology of panic as a mani- festation of complete emotional de- moralization. Emphasizing that men dealing with panic must make allowance for var- ious degrees of panic, Dr. Himler de- clared that the greatest chance for prevention of serious trouble caused by panic lies in efficient and prompt corrective organization. Capt. Raymond W. Worley of the Detroit Fire Department also con- tinued instruction in various special fire-fighting methods.

MICHIGAN'S athletic outlook for 1942-43 season was greatly strengthened yesterday when big Cliff Wise, sensational sophomore baseball and football star, announced that he will return to school this fall. Cliff dropped out of school last summer to work in a defense fac- tory in Jackson, but since then has saved enough money to permit himself to come back to college. The only catch to the whole picture is whether Wise can enroll in the Army Reserve Corps while attend- ing the University. The curly-haired athlete was Tom Harmon's understudy two years ago and was considered by some to be the logical successor to the Hoosier Hammer. Cliff was an excellent kick- er and the best passer on the 1940 squad. In the baseball world Wise had also established a fine reputation. Starting the 1941 season he was nothing but a green hurler who had a lot of stuff and little control. But by the time the Wolverines had taken the Big Ten crown he was one of the most feared pitchers in the Conference. Right before he left school Coach Ray Fisher said, "if that boy would stay another season or two he would probably become one of the best pitchers I have ever coached." Wise, who is now married, expects to be a proud papa some time next fall. He told your columnist that he would like to score a few touchdowns just so he could brag to the kid when it grew older. 1 BOB INGALLS has given up his one-man campaign to enlist in the nation's armed forces. The All-Conference center, who has poor vision, will probably sign with the Green Bay Packers, profession al football team, later in the week. He would be an unusually safe in- vestment, considering the fact he is 4F in the draft. THE Michigan competitive athletic front is almost always composed of men, but this summer a nineteen- year-old freshman coed from Mus- kegon is doing more than her share of publicity-getting for alma mater. Buxom Sally Sessions is the girl and the publicity is largely achieved through Miss Sessions' extraordi - nary ability to hit a golf ball in the proper direction at the proper time. She has just reached the semi- finals of the Michigan State Wom-' en's Tournament and the scores she shot in so doing were enough to make some of Coach Ray Court- right's links hopefuls look to their laurels. Miss Sessions is not a one-sport wonder either. Two years ago she won the state women's novice tennis title. More luck to the girl. But let's hope things don't get so bad that Fritz Crisler has to use her, at left half. CRACKER BARREL: Students en- rolled in the PEM program have the priviledge of being trained by one of the midwest's best tennis players. Chief Petty Officer George J. Jen- nings won the public parks singles title four times in a row and the doubles five times. He was also a star in basketball and an excellent handball player. M ichg Ninea To Encounter N avyRecrutits The Wolverine nine will pit its strength against the formidable Na- val Recruiting Station from Detroit at 6:30 p.m. today at Ferry Field. The boys from Detroit are sailing along with a ten-game winning streak and should prove to be the most powerful opponent Michigan has faced this summer. Dale Jones, who used to fling for the Philadelphia Phillies, will prob- ably be on the mound for the Re- cruiting Station. Ray Fisher will start Dick Bodycombe, the boy who pitched a no-hitter against Blue Front last week. When asked what he thought of Michigan'c chances Fisher said, "The! pitching this year has been very good and if we win it will probably be by the hurling." So far the Wolverines have been very weak with the stick. They have only averaged about four hits a game, but they have been able to get them at the right time. The fielding has not been too well either, but it will undoubtedly improve. Michigan's nine will be gunning for its fourth victory in five starts in today's game. Let's get a crowd out there to cheer the boys on to victory. Redd The Daily iassi f ieds! FOR SALE CORONA Portable Typewriter. Latest model.
